Thank you for your report. In this case, the message that is an "unrecognized bounce" is not an actual bounce of a list message. It is a message (looks like spam)
Thanks Mark, It's not spam, but a bilingual German & English change of address, presumably from an auto responder from a subscribed address (I checked).
Thank you for the clarification.

Thanks. At berklix.org I have no time for subscribers who consume list owners' time with auto responders, I like mailman to auto detect automatic response noise, & count & auto unsubscribe continuing noisy subscrbers.
In case the sample is of use I will leave it here for a bit: http://berklix.com/~jhs/tmp/mailman/uncaught_bounce_notification/1
It's hard enough to recognize all the various non-compliant messages which are actually bounces of list mail and extract the bouncing address(es) from them.
While I sympathize with the problem of autoresponders replying to the list or the list-bounces address, to try to actually recognize such messages as what they are and attribute them to the actual list member is a task too daunting for me to consider.
For autoresponses to the list, you could use header_filter_rules to match things like auto-submitted or auto-replied and discard such messages, but that won't work for messages to the -bounces address.
You can chose to forward such messages to the list owners or ignore them,
OK, good idea, I'll see what I can set up to ignore
but to ask Mailman to determine the responsible list member and score a bounce is more than I'm willing to try to do.
Thanks, sure, no problem. Just posted it in case it might have been an easy case to catch.
Cheers, Julian
